Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 後継者 直面するs an unenviable 仕事... but the charismatic and relentlessly 肯定的な Arne Slot isn't one to shirk a challenge - as Diego Simeone 設立する out!

• e-mail

Diego Simeone isn't the most difficult football 経営者／支配人 to 勝利，勝つd up but Arne Slot's reaction spoke 容積／容量s.

The Atletico Madrid boss got physical with his Dutch 相当するもの after Feyenoord （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 them in a 2021 friendly, 押すing Slot in the chest and 開始する，打ち上げるing a 言葉の ボレー.

Slot's 石／投石する Island gear 示唆するd he might have been up for a 捨てる but instead he just stood his ground and smiled mockingly at Simeone, who 支援するd 負かす／撃墜する.

It was the 調印する of a man who doesn't shy away from a challenge.

Feyenoord's coach is ruthlessly ambitious and a 支配（する）／統制する freak who 需要・要求するs total 支配（する）／統制する at a club. But he also has emotional 知能, knows how to create a team ethic and plays attractive football.

Feyenoord coach Arne Slot has 現れるd as Liverpool's favoured 候補者 to 後継する Jurgen Klopp - with 会談 between the two clubs 進行中で

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone tried to 選ぶ a fight with Slot after a friendly in 2021

In 返答 to 存在 押すd, the 石／投石する Island-wearing Slot just smiled 支援する at Simeone

So there are 推論する／理由s both for and against his suitability for the unenviable 仕事 of 後継するing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Slot, 45, who has just 支援するd up last season's Eredivisie 肩書を与える 勝利，勝つ by 配達するing the KNVB Cup to Rotterdam, has 現れるd as a strong 競争相手 for the Anfield gig.

Indeed, on Wednesday morning it 現れるd 会談 have already begun between Liverpool and Feyenoord with the 補償（金） 料金 始める，決める at £8.5million.?

On the 直面する of it, Slot's 4-3-3 形式, intensity of 圧力（をかける）ing and high energy attacking 耐えるs many resemblances to Klopp's '激しい metal' (Slot is more into his 非難する music).

But the Liverpool vacancy 要求するs so much more that just a good tactician.

For nine years, Klopp has carried not only a club but at times a city 反抗的な in its own 身元 and independence.

That emotional 重荷（を負わせる） has 最終的に caught up with him but not before he won the biggest honours in the game.

Liverpool's new 経営者／支配人 must not only 成し遂げる in Klopp's ぐずぐず残る 影をつくる／尾行する but somehow keep up his boundless energy and (1)偽造する／(2)徐々に進む the same 社債s with a 需要・要求するing fanbase and players that aren't his own.

The experiences of David Moyes and Unai Emery, after Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester 部隊d and Arsene Wenger at 兵器庫, have shown just how difficult it is to follow a 経営者／支配人 of legenda ry stature.

後継するing the immensely popular Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool is an unenviable challenge

Slot 配達するd the Eredivisie league 肩書を与える to Feyenoord last season, their first since 2017

Some would say the man who follows Klopp is on a 類似の hiding to nothing even if Liverpool fans would surely be 同情的な and 患者 if there was regression next season.

Like Klopp, Slot had a respectable but hardly みごたえのある playing career at the likes of FC Zwolle and NAC Breda rather than Ajax or Feyenoord.

But when it comes to coaching, Slot sees no 推論する／理由 to 抑制（する） his ambitions, even if it has rubbed people up the wrong way.

AZ Alkmaar 突然の 解雇（する）d him in December 2020 because owner Robert Eenhoorn learned he'd …に出席するd a 内密の 会合 with Feyenoord and agreed to 取って代わる 刑事 Advocaat.

Even as he 勝利，勝つs トロフィーs at Feyenoord, Slot has been unafraid to speak about his personal career trajectory.

'My next step will not be a club in Holland,' he said in 2023. 'If that is my next step, then I've failed 完全に.

'The normal next step will be to go abroad and I've always said the best league in the world is the 首相 League.'

The 首相 League has ぱたぱたするd its eyelashes 支援する across the North Sea. 水晶 Palace were 利益／興味d and 物陰／風下d made Slot their first-choice 交替／補充 for 足緒 Marsch in February 2023 - though 交渉s didn't get going.

Tottenham Hotspur thought they'd 説得するd him to become their 経営者／支配人 in May 2023 before Slot surprisingly decided to stay at Feyenoord and Daniel 徴収する turned to Ange Postecoglou.

Slot favours attacking, high-energy football - something that would 勝利，勝つ him favour at Anfield?

But Slot has been able to take 支配（する）／統制する of all 面s of running Feyenoord, which wouldn't be possible at Liverpool??

Given that Slot 需要・要求するs a 重要な degree of 支配（する）／統制する over all 面s of the club's 操作／手術s, you wonder how that would have worked with 徴収する.

There was 摩擦 when he （機の）カム in at Feyenoord, with a number of scouts and 新規採用 specialists leaving the club because of how Slot 手配中の，お尋ね者 them to work.

He certainly wouldn't get that 支配（する）／統制する at Anfield, though it's only 権利 he has a big say over 新規採用 to 発展させる Liverpool in his image 地位，任命する-Klopp.

The other big unknown is how Slot would 扱う the 激しい scrutiny that would come with the Liverpool 職業 - 特に if things are going wrong.

While the Dutch マスコミ and fans aren't known for 持つ／拘留するing 支援する in their forthright opinions, Liverpool with their 全世界の fame are several levels above Feyenoord in the 圧力 火刑／賭けるs.

His time at De Kuip has been predominantly successful - he took them to the 就任の Europa 会議／協議会 League final, where they lost to Jose Mourinho's Roma, then won a first league 肩書を与える since 2017.

Feyenoord celebrate winning the Dutch Cup after they （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 NEC Nijmegen last 週末

PSV Eindhoven have been superior in the Eredivisie this season but Feyenoord （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 NEC last 週末 to 勝利，勝つ the Cup.

But given even a small number of games without a victory can 構成する a 災害 at Liverpool, Slot hasn't yet been 強調する／ストレス-実験（する）d in this way.

Indeed, Bayern Munich 報道によれば looked at and 拒絶するd Slot because he doesn't yet have that 肉親，親類d of experience.

What he will bring - like Klopp - is relentless positivity. Liverpool fans are already fawning over a ビデオ of one of his team 会談 - 配達するd in his perfect English - after Feyenoord won 3-2 at Ajax en 大勝する to the 選手権.

Slot would 目的（とする） to replicate Klopp's passion if he lands the Liverpool gig in the weeks ahead

While Slot 定評のある a first victory in Amsterdam for 17 years was a seminal moment, he quickly reminded his players it was 'only one 勝利，勝つ' and the 職業 wasn't yet done.

You can certainly hear echoes of Klopp in it and his players were duly 栄冠を与えるd 支持する／優勝者s two months later. By the end, it's 明らかな his team will run through brick 塀で囲むs for him.

So Slot certainly brings similarities to Klopp ーに関して／ーの点でs of 教祖的指導力 and 動機づけ, 同様に as 見通し on how his teams should play their football.

The 広大な／多数の／重要な unknown is what happens at Liverpool when such a unique 人物／姿／数字 as Klopp is taken out of the equation.

What's （疑いを）晴らす with Slot, however, is that he certainly wouldn't shirk the challenge if 現在のd with it.
